This album features premiere recordings of pieces by Kaija Saariaho, Joël-François Durand, Bruce Quaglia, and Marc Satterwhite, and includes contemporary masterworks by Donatoni, Sørensen, Husa, and Penderecki. The works on this album were composed between 1980 and 2015, and each presents the listener with complex soundscapes that push the boundaries of clarinet technique.
